Today, May 6th, marks the 25th anniversary of Town's glorious victory over Arsenal in the 1978 FA Cup final. The day is not going unmarked with most of the participants at a celebratory dinner at Portman Road.

Paul Mariner, who these days splits his time between coaching in the USA and Japan, will be the only absentee from the squad which beat Arsenal 1-0 with Sir Bobby Robson amongst the guests.

London-based Town fans also have the opportunity relive the "Osborne, 1-0!" moment at a screening arranged by the London Branch of the Supporters Club. Fans of irony will appreciate the fact the venue will be the Gunners pub - approximately 100 yards from the 1978 Cup losers' ground.

Rob, the landlord at the Gunners, is a staunch Town fan and will also be showing other ITFC video action by way of pre-match entertainment from around 7pm, with the big game 'kicking off' at 7.45pm.

The Gunners pub is at 204 Blackstock Road, N4 - nearest tube Arsenal. For details see www.thegunnerspub.co.uk
